The classic pass: Tips and subleties

[RDChopper]

Hey what's up? So I know that I told you guys about some tutorials and vids that I were going to be uploading in the coming weeks, so here it's the first part of a series of two talking about the classic pass and it's uses...

In this first half here it's what I am talking about:

*Common mistakes

*When to use the pass

*Explanation on how to get the selection outjogged

*Why to use and outjog instead of the pinky break

*Angle issues

*Motivation for having the hands toguether

* A little subtlety to make the outjog invicible

*A different grip that fixes the index finger issue

Among other things.....

So, first of all, sorry for the bad quality of the video, I uploaded that way because uploading a full HD would have take me like 2 or 3 years to upload.. Also sorry for my english, if something wasnt clear enough, I'll gladly help...

I know that most of guys are already masters of the pass, but I still hope that this vid will help some of you, if you guys doesnt like it or have something to add or comment about the classic pass don't refrain of doing so....


Thanks and enjoy

I like the video. This is a perfect tips for someone who is a begineer in card magic. I know that the pass is one of the deceptive move if we perfect this. Again, thanks for the tips.

That tip about the index finger really helps!

One of the biggest tells that most people have is that they stop talking when they do the move. There is almost always a break or a change in the tone of their voice. Another one of course is the tension in the whole body.

Focusing on these points will help anyone to cover passes way more than focusing on small finger movements. Pass is a hidden move, just like a top change.

Pretty good point, and its something that a lot of us still do and that nobody have ever pointed it out, thanks .

I'm very interested in your tutorials and magic tricks -- your video has enhanced my pass a great deal.

My only problem is that your card trick videos are not english! Haha, i still watched them all.

Back on topic -- how long did it take you to master the pass? Also, where did you learn it from?

And if you post a video of doing a strike double, because i can't in all honesty find a video for it, then i would be ETERNALLY grateful. I need a smooth double ift that doesn't need setting up. Like an impromptu double lift.

Hey, thanks for this RD! It really helped, some great tips there.



P.S. You don't need to spend so much time explaining yourself, We know that you're not a native speaking american, and the video quality wasn't that terrible.
